ONCE AGAIN, Pat Buchanan is a racist fuckhead on my t.v.

[Coexist]

He just had to get 'menacing' and 'black man' in the same sentence re: Obama and Ludacris tonight. From an old post of mine, as a reminder of who this asshole is:

Here is Buchanan on David Duke:

Consider Buchanan's own words on the former Klansman: "David Duke is busy stealing from me," Buchanan said in 1991. "I have a mind to go down there and sue that dude for intellectual property theft."

And on race relations in the late 1940s and early 1950s: "There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The 'negroes' of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours." (Right from the Beginning, Buchanan's 1988 autobiography, p. 131)

And:

White House adviser Buchanan urged President Nixon in an April 1969 memo not to visit "the Widow King" on the first anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination, warning that a visit would "outrage many, many people who believe Dr. King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse.... Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history." (New York Daily News, 10/1/90)

And:

In a column sympathetic to ex-Klansman David Duke, Buchanan chided the Republican Party for overreacting to Duke and his Nazi "costume": "Take a hard look at Duke's portfolio of winning issues and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles, reverse discrimination against white folks." (syndicated column, 2/25/89)

And:

Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that "white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this." (syndicated column, 2/7/90) He referred admiringly to the apartheid regime as the "Boer Republic": "Why are Americans collaborating in a U.N. conspiracy to ruin her with sanctions?" (syndicated column, 9/17/89)


Giving a man like this air time, as though his thoughts on race and unity in this country are valid and important is offensive to me. Buchanan's views are offensive to most decent Americans.

Argh! I can't stand that man.

1. He made me chuckle though...

the thought of him and his senior buddies listening to Ludacris' rap song is kind of funny.

[polichick]

2. It's amazing that the msm in America employs racists in 2008!

5. I almost started the umpteenth "WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT PAT BUCHANAN THINKS?" thread NT

thanks for doing it for me

[trewsx11]

6. Pat Buchanan personifies everything that is wrong with this country

I can't stand him.

And all his predictions turn out dead wrong.

7. Did you hear the ass say Ludacris was in Obama's camp? Buchanan is trying to take this and tie it

in with the Reverend Wright issue and get both of them going. I mean it really puts you beside yourself what our asinine press, media does and I still say it appears that they are really retching it up big time. The media corporate heads must have put some word out for them to get on it.

8. Why am I not surprised

It seems the MSM is doing all it can to get McShame in office even if it means bringing up and perpetuating racial stereotypes. Between the MSM and hate radio - race relations in this country will be set back years.

11. You know I was thinking the same thing because any idiot can see what is gong on right now and

it will not be pretty if the media is a big part of this and continues to allow it to fester.

14. I found the quote on a kos diary - here it is!!!

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/7/30/185249/836/748/559637

per LizzyPop:

"...that McCain can refer to himself as President, hold weekly radio addresses like a President, and talk about what the world will think after his first-term, and no one calls him presumptuous or arrogant. Yet Obama does far less than that, and he gets called those things. She said there's obviously a lot of underlying racism to it.

She also said that Dana Milbank's quote has been debunked.

Pat Buchanan argued with her, and she said then said "if you see all of those things and don't call McCain presumptuous, yet you say that about Obama, that says more about you than it does about Obama.""

THANK YOU RACHEL, I LOVE YOU!!
